I was wondering if there was any module or anything else that would let my site just bypass the sending of an email during when you create an account. BC for some reason I can't just seem to get my emails to send through the site. Which makes it hard to get people to sign up when it keep popping up with an email error.. I'm sure its just something simple but I would rather just not even have the email enabled. If anyone has ever played with SMF, they have an option where you can disable email registration, and you can just sign up and your logged right in. Which is what I would like my site to do. Have people sign up and just be able to post and thats it.. no sending of emails or anything. Or if anyone knows of a code that would allow me to just bypass the error page that would work as well.

Thanks in advance,

administer -> user settings
uncheck Require e-mail verification when a visitor creates an account

Though you really should figure out the email problem because unchecking the above will easily fill your site with users created by spam bots.

I had a similar problem with email when I first set up a web account. Turns out that I needed to create an email account throught cPanel first. If you are using it on a local server such as wamp than you need to configure the php.ini smtp fields. You can find plenty of information about that via google. You can contact your hosting company service dept. and to make sure they have everything set proper. You can install this module http://drupal.org/project/smtp which I haven't used but assume does what you might need it to do.

The email authentication is system in Drupal is very nice, user friendly, and creates a wall between robots and your site. You can opt to disable the mail verification as mentioned above. There is also a nice module that complements Drupal's login called LoginTobogin.
